Headline History
Funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the free website, which recently won the interactive BAFTA for Children's Learning, is full of true stories about English history, including the Second World War. Pupils can become reporters on a series of virtual newspapers, interviewing real-life witnesses to historic events, and an events and venues section allows users to see what's going on in their region. Children can also write their own stories, which they can publish on the site.
